THE Ancient Records of this Diocese have 
hitherto been practically inaccessible, 
having been scattered about in at least three 
different Registries, viz., those at Ely House 
in London, the Consistory Court in Great 
St. Mary's Church at Cambridge, and the Palace 
and Diocesan Registry at Ely. All these 
documents the Bishop has now caused to be 
removed to the Palace at Ely, where he has 
provided and fitted up a large Muniment Room 
in Bishop Alcock's Tower for their reception; at 
the same time causing them to be completely 
arranged, so as to be available for the research 
which their historical importance deserves. 
And the present volume is the outcome of 
this arrangement. 



VI 



Ely Episcopal Records. 



The Bishops of Ely had until recently a 
temporal jurisdiction second only in importance 
to that of the Bishops of Durham ; and the 
consequence is that their Muniment Room 
contains, in addition to the ordinary records 
of diocesan business, a great mass of ancient 
documents relating to this temporal jurisdic- 
tion, both civil and criminal, such as Assize 
and Plea Rolls, &c., which for other Dioceses 
are to be found (if at all) only at the Public 
Record Office in London. 

The Ecclesiastical Records comprise the 
usual contents of a Diocesan Registry, — the 
Visitation Books and the Transcripts of 
Parish Registers for the old diocese being in 
unusually good preservation. Special attention 
has been paid to the arrangement of the latter 
according to parishes, so that they may be 
available to the Clergy for supplying the parts 
missing (alas ! too often) in the Parochial 
Registers themselves. 



The Episcopal Registers commence in 
1337, and a rough calendar of their contents 
is given in the present volume, as well as a 



Preface. vii 

careful abstract of the Marriage Dispensations, 
the Indiilgences(which are especiallyinteresting 
in this series of Registers), and any other 
matters likely to be useful for local history. 
All the Wills occurring in the Registers have 
been transcribed /// extenso. 

Room has also been found for a portion 
of the unusually good series of Marriage 
Licences existing here ; and for a Transcript 
of the Marriage Register of the Old Chapel at 
Ely House, Holborn. In short, the volume 
is intended to comprise an Account of the 
whole Series of Records, — Ecclesiastical, Civil, 
and Criminal, — illustrated by Abstracts and 
Transcripts calling attention to the chief 
matters of interest occurring throughout them. 

In the Appendix an account is given of 
various Records and MSS. in the Public 
Record Office, the British Museum, and at 
Lambeth, relating to the old Diocese of Ely. 

I desire to take this opportunity of acknow- 
ledging my indebtedness to Mr. Williamson, 
the Publisher, for the accurate and painstaking 



viii Ely Episcopal Records. 

manner in which he has performed his share 
of the work ; but for this, the labour (in any 
case not inconsiderable) of seeing through the 
press a volume so full of names and dates 
would have been very greatly increased. 

It need scarcely be added that any praise 
which the work, as a whole, may deserve, must 
be given to the Bishop. The blame for any 
faultiness in its execution is mine alone.

A 4 NON-REST DENCE PAPERS {continued). 

In 1823 there is a Petition for Non-residence from the Rector 
of Doddington on account of the dampness and unhealthiness of 
the climate, the extreme lowness of the situation, and the consequent 
illness of Petitioner's children. The duties are performed by his 
curate, who has a yearly stipend of one hundred and fifty pounds 
and a house. The gross annual value of the said Rectory exceeds 
five thousand pounds.

A 5 SUBSCRIPTION AND ORDINATION BOOKS. 

A volume containing entries of Ordinations 
and of the Examinations of Candidates for

It begins — "Appositions taken and had before the Right

(Then follows a specimen of the candidate's handwriting.) 

Cupio dissolvi et esse cum Christo." 

Further on in the book are similar Examinations for 1560, 
^561, 1563, i56«> 1569, 1572-1580. 



4 Ely Episcopal Records. 

A 5 SUBSCRIPTION AND ORDINATION BOOKS {continued). 

Also the names and colleges of persons ordained 1561, 
1563-X570, 1574-1581, and their subscriptions to the Articles and 
Book of Common Prayer, serving as a kind of Index to the 
Examinations. 

Taking 1 560-1 as a specimen, the number of candidates was 
68, of whom 2 were respited to the Bishop and 7 rejected, including 
a B.A. and Fellow of Queen's College, Cambridge. Several others 
were respited, but appear afterwards to have been admitted. In the 
later years the proportion of candidates refused seems, from a 
cursory examination of the book, to have been much greater. 

The " Interrogatoryes niinisteryd to all suche as myndethe to 
Receyve hollye orders " were as follows : — 

1. ffyrst what is his name. 

2. The second what age he is of. 

3. The Thyrd wher his abydinge is. 

4. The fourth whether his conversacyon be good and honest. 

5. The fyfte whether he cane Rede well or no. 

6. The syxte whether he cane wryte.

speke the same. 

1 1 . The xi whether he hathe studyed any thinge in the scryptures 
and what he hathe lernyd therein. 

(These are on a loose sheet of paper in the book.) 

1 662- 1 672. Book of Subscriptions of Clergy 
under Canon 36. 

The Oaths of Supremacy and Allegiance, obedience to the Bishop, 
and Residence, and against Simony, are set out at the beginning of 
the Book. At the other end are subscriptions 1 662-1 666 under the 
Act of Uniformity — to conform to the Liturgy, that it is not lawful 
on any pretence whatever to take arms against the King, and that 
the Solemn League and Covenant was an unlawful oath and not 
binding. 

Then follow subscriptions of Candidates for Orders, 1667-167 2. 

The following loose paper in this book appears to be an abstract 
of the Ordinations between 1662 and 1664: —

In the first he gives an account of his appointment, commencing 
•' i)))!/ Ocw Noveml). y" 17*^^ 17 14. I kissed K. Georges hand for 
y° Bprick of Ely, being the First Bp. he made. 

Nov. y° 25. I was elected : the Conge d'elire passing through 
all the offices, came to 58' 12" 08''. The Register of the Dean and 
Chapter of Ely claimed as aCustomary Fee.for bringing y" Instrument 
uj), 10' 15" oo'^. I gave it to him, because he was said to be a poor 
and honest man, but 1 knew it was an Imposition, it being 
impossible for 10 Cuineas to be a Fee, when Guineas were not 
coined till about 1662. 1 doubt not but it had been paid by one 
or two of my I'roedecess'", but 1 am sorry I paid it, to confirm a 
piece of vain Generosity which, with one or two more Silly Examples 
added to mine, will make a Custome, and y" Chapter-Register will 
hereafter have the Confidence to claim it as his Due. I could with 
more satisfaction (to Shew it was not y'' money I regarded) have 
thrown it into the River. 



On Dec. y" 19*^' 1 did Homage, y" Fees of w<^'' came to 
io6. 10. 04, and would have been 5^^ more, had there been any 
Groom of the Stole.

to be Justices of y° Peace for the Isle of Ely : y'-" Commission passed 
Jan. y 7*^* 1714, and cost me ^'11 oo'' 00^'."

A 6 BISHOP FLEETWOOD'S COMMONPLACE BOOKS {contd.) 

(After giving the names, the Bishop goes on): — "These eight 
and ten more y^ L*^ Chancell'' Harcourt had put into CoiTiission, 
to serve some purpose, without acciuainting y" 13p. with it, contrary 
to immemorial custome, and turud 4 of y" old ones out. I left out 
y" Ten to vindicate y" Bps. Privilege, and to shew some Resentment 
for y*' 111 usage of my Predecessor, and left y"^ other 8 in Comission, 
because y® good of y° Isle required it, as I was told." 

Mem''. I have reduced, for y° time to come, y*^ Sessions 
Dinners to 03^ 10^ 00**: and y° Stewards Dinners (Leet, Homage, 
and 2 Jurys) to 05^' 00 : 00 : with firme Resolution never to exceed

Essex. All w'=^ came to ;^ii32 3 9^!^, i.e. were then valued at that 
Rate, but worth much more." 

The following List of the old Registers extant in Bishop 
Fleetwood's time, taken from the same volume, is useful, as showing 
what are now missing, viz., Heton's Register and the Liber Niger. 

" In y® Registers Office at Cambridge are —

Pinned inside : — " Mem. Tuesday Feb. 24, 1740. Mr. Wood- 
ward perused this Book on acct. of the Bp. of London, &c." 

On almost the last page is the following : — " Md. to know Mr. 
Chancello'^ his pleas'" for order to be takyn for keepyng playes 
dawnsynges and maye gaymes in churches and churche yeardes 
upon pretense to advauntage and proffyt the churche by the same." 

Archdeacon of Ely's Visitation, 1539. 

Contains little besides lists of clergy and churchwardens : and 
a few notices of wants of repair of churches, &c. 

" This volume furnishes us with a report of the condition of the 
"Archdeaconry three years after the suppression of the smaller 
"Religious Houses and during the year when the Act of the Six 
" Articles was passed. Thomas Thirlby was at this time Archdeacon 
" of Ely, the same who afterwards became successively Bishop of 
" Westminster, Norwich, and Ely. The book deserves to be 
"examined with much more care and patience than could be 
" bestowed upon it in the time at my disposal." [Hist. MSS. Comm. 
Report.] 

Visitation Book of Bishop Thirlby, 1549- 
1552, and of Bishop Cox, 1561. 

Contains the Cojnperta, and some very curious cases of public 
penance, &c. 

" We have here a minute account of the condition of the Parish 
"Churches throughout the Diocese and a curious body of evidence 
"regarding the attitude of the people in this part of England three 
"years after the death of Queen Mary, which obviously possess 
" something more than a merely antiquarian interest. From these 
" returns it is clear that the enactments for defacing the churches, 
"and even those for enforcing uniformity of ritual had not been 
" attended to generally nor generally carried into effect. There had 
" been a widespread reluctance to destroy the Holy Water stoups 
" in the church porches, and to daub over the walls of the churches

"with whitewash. The frescoes in many instances are reported as 
"still remaining intact. There was a great deficiency of Anglican 
"service books ; the homilies are so frequently noticed as not to be 
" found, that it would appear they were held in dislike. In many 
" churches there was not even a Bible. There are frequent com- 
" plaints that no Parish Register Book had been provided. In 
"many Parishes there was no preaching and nothing in its place. 
" At Stanton St. Michael's there was no pulpit ; at Orwell we read 
" ' the Crucifixorium remaineth in statu quo prius ' ; at St. Botolph's 
" Church, Cambridge, there was not even a chalice. Such a picture 
" of the condition of an English Diocese at this period I have not 
" met with elsewhere, and a much more extended and careful examin- 
"ation of these Comperta than I could afford to give to them could 
"hardly fail to repay a competent student." [Hist. MSS. Comm. 
Report.] 

Visitatio Generalis tarn Clericorum quam 
Laicorum, et detectiones inde facta, 1564-5. 

" It contains the usual complete lists of clergy, schoolmasters, 
"churchwardens, and other officials of every Parish, with the 
"Presentments and Comperta arranged according to the several 
" Deaneries. The impression left upon me by a rapid comparison 
• "of this Book with the Visitation of 1561, was that the defacement 
" of the Parish Churches recommended in the earlier volume had 
"been generally carried out in the interval, but that the moral 
"condition of the people had by no means inlproved." [Hist. 
MSS. Comm. Report.] 

Visitatio et Acta Officii, 1565- 1566. 

Almost at the end is the following examination : —

" period of more than a year, was carried on in St. Mary's Church, 
" in Cambridge, on successive Mondays from week to week. An 
"entry of the 17th July 1609 notes that Bishop Heton died at 
"Mildenhall, and apparently suddenly, in adibus Mag^ Jacobi 
" Weston Ar., a fact which has not I think been mentioned else-

"where. At this point the visitation is interrupted and is not 
"resumed till 27th Nov., 1609, when Dr. Gager resumes it as 
" Commissary of Jiishop Andrevves. Some of the reports in this 
"volume may instructively be compared with the co?iiper(a of half 
" a century earlier, and indicate the change of feeling and habits 
"that had come upon the villagers. Thus it appears that the old 
"strictness in observance of festivals and saints' days was disap- 
"pearing, though the attempt was still made to enforce the 
"anticjuated customs. J\i Baburgh Ralph Shirte, gentleman, is 
"presented for fetching home a chaldron of coals on St. Luke's 
"day; at Barrington, Edward Prior is reported for carting on 
"Michaelmas day; at Duxford, John Willows for doing the like on 
"the feast of St Simon and St. Jude, and the same offences arc 
"presented again and again elsewhere as worthy of censure. 

"The presentments for sleeping in Church arc frequent, and 
"the complaints of brawling and actually fighting during divine 
" service are not rare. At Balsham two men are " named upon a 
"common fame to be of the Family of Love." At Cottenham, 
"Richard Coverley taketh upon him to be a cunning man, being 

" neither Physician nor Chirurgeon to him divers 

"do resort as to a cunning man or wizard. At Dallingham there 
"appear to have been great disturbances in consequence of the 
" Churchwardens having apportioned the seats in the Church 
" according to their own notion of what was fitting. At St. Edward's, 
"Cambridge, Robert Throckmorton, gent, is presented ' for that 
" contrary to the canons he doth leave his parish Church of St. 
" Edward's to which his house doth belong, and doth go to Benet 
" Church to hear divine service.' At Over, Ezra Purkiss, the school 
"master, 'not being in any orders at all,' had for some time been 
" conducting the service in the Church, preaching twice on Sundays, 
"burying the dead and churching women, &c., and to all appear- 
"ances might have gone on [)osing as a clergyman but that 'in 
"reading the collects he did in one of them leave out this word 
^^ Bishop and instead thereof did read this viord. pastor or pastors.' 
" At Waterbeach Henry Greeley, the parish clerk, had been acting 
" nearly in the same way in the absence of the Vicar, who appears 
"to have connived at the proceedings. Complaints against the 
" clergy are very seldom made, though it would be difficult to say 
"what misconduct was not thought sufficient to form the subject of 
"presentment at these visitations." [Hist. MSS. Com. Report.]

to excuse myne absenc at th' apoynted meeting at Ely, you shall j 
thereby give me renovatu pigniis amoris vestri veteris ; I am by 
necessary crosses (I mean such as no ways I can avoyd) enforced 
p'ntly to go to London about the dispatch of buysinesses w"^^ ar of 
importance, and such as admitteth neyther delay, nor p'mitteth any 
dispatch but w*^ more delay, then will suffer my retourn before 
the begining of October ; Thus hooping to be dispensed w*^ for 
my not beeing at Ely as I was warned and as I purposed, by reason 
of myne vnexpected vrgent occassions, and much the rather- 
mediante te, I take leave and rest ever y"^ loving friend,

to the appointment of Steward of the Dean 
and Chapter's Courts ; with the evidences 
adduced on both sides, &c., 1785-6. 

Amongst these is the following letter to Dean Gooch, contain- 
ing a curiously circumstantial account, by the Rev. Bearing Jones, 
of Navenby, Lincolnshire, of his election as Auditor, about 1750. 

"Navenby, 13 Aug. 1785. 
" My good and much Honour 'd Friend, 

" Your favour did not find me till this morning, being missent, 
" (as they write upon it,) to Boston. 

" You will please to recolect it is near 35 years since the event 
" you mention took place ; my memory therefore may be a little 
" treacherous, and if I digress into minutiae, or evenfabulcB aniles, 
" as you desire all particulars, you'll laugh at the old man. 

" When the Auditor's place became vacant, I waited upon Dean 
" AUix and those of the Prebendaries with whom I thought I could 
"safely take that liberty. I met with much civility from all, but 
" none promised me except Mr. Butts and my Father ; the Dean, 
" who was the best friend I ever had in my life, told me most 
" freely, that his regard for and connexions with Mr. Watkins were 



Ely Episcopal Records. 59 

O 4 APPEALS {continued), 

" such that he could by no means refuse him his support. In this 
" state matters rested till the meeting of the Body in November, 
" and the number were five, — the Dean, Mr. Harvey, Dr. Green, 
" Dr. Price, and my Father. The morning they were to meet upon 
" Business, my Father told me the vacancy had been mentioned 
" the evening before, and he found the Dean was against me, that 
" nothing was said in favour of me by anyone, and that Mr. Butts 
"was not come ; he therefore advised me to desist proceeding any 
" farther. I accordingly went to the Deanery to signify that to the 
" Dean as my design, and in the little Court I met Mr. Harvey, who 
" asked my Business. I told him. He said he insisted I should 
" not desist, that his intention was all along to serve me, that Mr. 
" Butts as he promised would no doubt come, and he IjeUeved I 
" had other friends ; if not I should at all events proceed : and that 
" the choice would be in the after-noon. Upon this encouragement 
" I returned and told my Father, who acquiesced. However I was 
"still uneasy, and waited upon the Dean and told him how things 
"stood, and moreover rather than offend him by persisting I would 
"resign all pretentions. He very friendly and politely beg'd I 
" would not have a moment's care about him ; he should not be 
" the least displeased ; not that he thought that I had any chance, 
" as he was persuaded that Mr. Butts would not come. In this 
" situation I waited till Dinner ( — in those good Days we Dined at 
" one o'clock — ) No Butts ! I then in my own mind gave up all 
" for lost, and as I was going to the Deanery by invitation to Dine, 
" upon the Dean's walk I met Dr. Price, who very good naturedly 
" ask'd me how I went on. I told him I did not go on at all, that 
" all was over with me ; my Friend Mr. Butts was not come. He 
" said, * why don't you take your Horse and go to him ? I know he 
"is at Snailwell.' I replied, 'It is too late; the election was to be 
"in the afternoon.' He laugh'd, and said, 'I shall voat against 
" you, but get away directly. I'll take care the Election shall be 
" put off till tomorrow morning.' I went immediately and found 
" Mr. Butts with a house full of company ; he seem'd much sur- 
" prised, but very pleased to see me, and affected totally to have 
" forgot the Chapter time. I told him it was not then too late to 
" serve me, and I hoped he would, as the Election was not to be 
" till the next morning. He assured me he would, and came to 
" Ely accordingly. What follows I had from my Father. That the 
" Dean, Dr. Green, and Dr. Price voted for Mr. Watkins ; Mr. 
" Harvey, Mr. Butts [? and my Father for me]. The choice then 
" rested upon the Dean's casting vote, who very kindly said that I 
" had behaved through the whole business, with such respect to 
" him and modest propriety, that he could not take the advantage

C 4 APPEALS {contimied). 

"of the casting vote; upon which Dr. Green immediately said, 
"then he would go over and vote for me, which he accordingly 
" did, and I was appointed your unworthy Auditor. 

" I write this rather in hast to save the Post. I imagine you 
" may have heard I've lost my eldest daughter since I had the 
" pleasure of seeing you, and am in great fears for my son. My 
" best wishes wait upon Miss Gooch, and with every difference and 
" respect I remain Dear S*".

NOTE AS TO Rolls op Manor op Chatteris.— On the fly-leaf of an Act for Inclosing 
Lands in the Parish of Chatteris, 1809, the following memorandum is written :— A claim was 
made for the See under this Act for an Allotment, as the Bishop was 

1. Lord of the Hundred of Wichford. 

( Chateriz Ramsay. 

2. Lord Paramount of the Manors of I Chateriz Nuns. 

( Benet College. 
all of which did suit and service at his Palace Court and Hundred Court. 

3. As Lord of the Manor of Ely Barton. 

In Bishop Wren's Account of the Muniments of the See many Ancient Rolls or Entries are 
stated which might tend to establish the two first of these claims ; but upon esamination of 
the Muniment Rooms all the Rolls, &c., containing such entries appeared to be lost, except 
one Roll of the Court Leet of Chateriz of ye 8th Rich. 2d. 

All claim in respect of Ely Barton was considered to be satisfied by the Allotment made 
to Bishop Wren by the Commissioners under the Act of 15 Car. 2. T. DAMPIER. 

Oct. 10th, 1810.

Ashborne and Wirksworth. 

There are also several bills and estimates for alterations in the 
Deanery at Lincoln by John Hayward and Thomas Lumby in 1778 ; 
especially an octangular bay window, and for walling up a window 
on the north side of the drawing-room, and one on the north side 
of the dining-room.

and Francis Winter's bill "for dressing the Honorable and Right

D 2, 3, 4 CONSISTORY COURT BOOKS. 

Registrum primiim causarum Consistorii 
Eliensis de tempore domini Thome de Arundell 
Episcopi Eliensis. 1378-1381. 

Mr. Cole says about this volume : — 

" Registrum Consistoriale Eliense. The following curious book 
was lent to me Oct. 27, 1768, by the Rev. Mr. Sam. Peck, Fellow 
of Trinity College in Cambridge, Vicar of Trumpington and late 
Deputy Chancellor of the Diocese of Ely under Dr. Wharton Peck, 
who resides wholly at Norwich. Mr. Peck bought it at a grocer's 
in Cambridge for waste paper at the pound weight together with 40 
or 50 other books all belonging to the Registrary of Ely which were 
so sold by Mr. Day the Town Clerk of Cambridge, executor to the 
late Mr. Higgins, who shot himself about 2 years ago, and was 
Deputy Registrar to Chas. Green Esqr. of Hemingford. It is a 
very large 4°, containing 162 double pages, wrote in a small neat 
hand on vellum by one Foxton."

D 2, 3, 4 CONSISTORY COURT BOOKS (continued). 

The book commences : — " Acta coram nobis Roberto Roos 
rectore ecclesie parochialis de Tatershale Line' dioc' legum doctore 
venerabilis in Xpo patris et dni dni Thome de Arundell dei gratia 
Electi Ehen' et confirmati Offic' et commissario ad infrascripta 
sufficienter deputato in domo capitulari Monasterii Eh'en','' &c. 

Pinned to the cover is the following : — " Mem. Tuesday Feb. 
24, 1740, Mr. Woodward perused this Book, on ace* of the Bp. 
of London &c. Nothing worth searching for in this book in the 
opinion of S. Peck." 

Mr. Cole appears to have been of a different opinion, and to 
have made copious extracts from the book. 

" As might be expected the contents of the volume for the most 
"part deal with matters of routine; occasionally, however, docu- 
" ments of great interest occur, and notably so among the letters 
" which refer to the elections of Proctors to serve in the ecclesias- 
" tical assemblies, and the frequent correspondence concerning the 
" Diocesan Synods held twice a year in the Diocese. So little is 
"known of the authority, influence, or procedure in these meetings 
" that any fresh information that may be afforded concerning them 
"would be a gain." (Hist. MSS. Comm. Report.)

BAILIFFS' ROLLS, RENTALS AND ACCOUNTS.* 

» " Hardly less numerous than the Court Rolls are the Bailiffs' accounts of the Episcopal 
" Estates from the beginning of the 14th century downwards. Among these, as falling under the 
•' same class, may be included the Rent Rolls, one or two manorial extents, balance sheets of 
" the surveyors of the great dykes and drains and other stray papers more or less connected with 
" the finances and revenues of the Bishop. One roll of the custosfossatorum for the 1st year of 
" Henry V. enters rather minutely into details regarding the system of drainage then existing 
" and which had been in operation for centuries before. A Rent Roll of 4 H. IV. gives us what 
" may almost be called a Commercial Directory for the town of "Wisbech for this year, and it 
" would be interesting to compare this with another and equally elaborate Halimote Roll of 
" the 7th H. VIII., which again furnishes us with a list of all the householders and their several 
" occupations just a century after the date of the earlier document. The Bailiffs' accounts, 
" however, would prove on examination to be the richest mine of information on almost all 
" matters that concern our social history and the habits of life of the people. Thus we may 
" note that the interchange of letters from time to time was much more frequent than we should 
"have expected to find. In the 20th year of Edward III. a busy correspondence was kept up 
" between the Bailiff of Wisbech and Edmund de Qonville, the first founder of Catus College. 
" Gonville was at this time Commissioner of Marshlands, in the Isle of Ely, but resided, as 
" appears from this acconnt, at Rushworth, in Norfolk, where he had founded and endowed a 
" College of priests in 1342. The letters from Wisbech to Rushworth are always charged for 
" in terms of the day's labour for which the manorial tenants were liable, six opera for the 
" journey to and fro, three opera where no answer seems to have been returned. From another 
" account two years later we get the money equivalent for these charges by finding the wfiter's 
" day's work set down as standing for a halfpenny. In this latter account, too, we find that in 
" the Barton of Wisbech a practice prevailed of selling the feudal services " in gross " year by 
" year ; and in this year 1348 (i.e., the year before the Black Death) the whole amount received 
" under this head was 81. Us. 2^(1, Seventy-five years later (lo H. IV.) the sale of services in 
" the same manor brought in 101. Illustrations of the severity of the plague in Cambridgeshire 
" are frequently to be met with. At Barton we learn that no less than 352 acres escheated to 
" the lord, and that 62 acres remained unlet, causa peslilentice. From the frequent mention of 
" boats and boat hire it would seem that the ordinary " sewers " through the fens were used 
'• as canals and were the highways from place to place, the saturated fen land not being fur- 
" nished with roads along which much traffic could be carried on. The sea evidently came 
" much nearer to the town of Wisbech in the 14th century than it does now ; the smaller cetacea 
" seem frequently to have been cast ashore in the shallows of the Wash ; when canght they 
" were salted and packed in barrels to be consumed as food, and the capture of a grampus, 
"porpoise, or even"unius piscis vocati sele" was welcomed as cheerfully as the occasional 
"netting of a sturgeon. These Bailiffs' accounts are of great length, the rolls frequently 
" extend to six or seven feet, and are usually written on both sides of the vellum. The series is 
" so large that they could not but prove a very valuable apparatus for a student desiring to 
"pursue researches into the daily habits, means of liveUhood, and devices for getting a 
" precarious sustenance out of the land in a district which, in these early times, must have been 
" very uninviting to any but such as had been born and bred on the soil they were attached 
" to." (Hist. MSS. Comm. Report.)

t This Roll, which is written in a fifteenth century hand, is headed " Iste rotulus docet 
de Redd" assiso domini E'pi Eliens' coUigendo de liberis homiuibus in villa de Ely et factus fttit 
per manus Michaelis Payn clerici in anno Regni Regis Edwardi tercii a conquestii nono et 
pontiflcatos domini Hugonis Balsham E'pi Eliens' xxi." 

Now, Hngh Balsham was Bishop from 1257 to 1286, so that Edward 3 is clearly an error. 
Some one has written Honry above Edward in a modern hand, but the true date would seem 
to be about 8 or 9 Ed. 1. 

The Roll was found amongst the Assize Rolls, being endorsed in a modem hand" Assizes," 
probably because the word " Assiso " occurs in the heading

" these accounts may be inferred from one entry in the roll of 2 Henry 4. ' Item in stipendiis 
" Clerici huius compoti cum pergameno pro eodem iijs. ivci.' 

" Most of the houses and shops in Holborn and Fleet Street had gardens attached to them 
" but the Bishop's own garden appears to have been let about the beginning of the reign of 
" Richard II., and together with the vineyard and some pasture land adjoining brought in a 
" rent of 60s. a year, a considerable rent for a yearly tenant to pay at this time. It is well 
"known, as the late Mr. Riley pointed out eighteen years ago (Hist. MSS. 1st Report, App., 
" p. 89), that the notices we get of English Horticulture in the middle ages are not often to be 
" met with. I was therefore very glad to find among these Holborn rolls a stray gardener's 
"account for the last eight months of the Episcopate of Bp. John Barnet, i.e., from Michaelmas 
" 1372 to 7 June 1373, when the Bp. died. At this time the Bishop's gardener was one Adam 
" Vynor, who calls himself ' Ortolanus d'ni Episcopi.' Among the receipts are to be found 
" amounts from the sale of onions, garlic, lekes, parseley, hyssop, savoury [Winter's Talel.-IV.], 
" peas and beans? [de/abis et siliquis}, and cabbages [olera]. 

"69*. \\d. is charged for men and women digging in the vineyard 'ac etiam pro mails 
" herbis in curtilagio purgandis et extrahendis,' and a payment of 3*. \Qd. is entered for tithes 
" paid to the Rector of St. Andrew's, Holborn, ' pro decima pasture magni gardini.' '' (Hist. 
MSS. Comm. Report.) 

X Some one has marked this " A° 1406" in an old hand, but the date seems to be as above 
This Roll contains a list of about 130 tenants.

1796. Mr. James Wyatt's Report on the 
State of Ely Cathedral, and Estimates for its 
Restoration. 

The Report pays great attention to an ivy tree in the Deanery 
garden as the cause of much mischief. Also to the clock, for which 
he recommends dials to be placed in the west, north, and south 
sides of the West Tower, in the tier of windows immediately above 
the roof of the nave ; and that for the five bells then in the tower 
one should be substituted which " might serve for the clock and 
every other purpose of the church either by tolling it or striking it 
with a hammer or clapper by a cord brought down within the 
present lumber room." . ..." If the bell were placed lower 
the tower must be closed where an octagon opening ought to be 
left, and that would shut out from the view below a very beautiful 
part of the Saxon Tower, rich with columns and arches," &c. Mr. 
Wyatt also recommends the Organ Loft to be removed " down to 
the great legs of the Lanthorn," and thinks the lead of the roof 
would fetch about ;^3,ooo, and the roof itself might be repaired 
for ;!{^i,20o or ^1,500.

E I PLEA ROLLS AND GAOL DELIVERY ROLLS. 

These are the Rolls of the proceedings in the civil and 
criminal business at the Assizes for the Isle of Ely, which were held 
at Ely and Wisbech alternately. 

The Plea Rolls include the proceedings in all actions tried at 
the Assizes, and generally the same classes of matters as are found 
in the Plea Rolls of the Courts at Westminster, as well as Fines or 
Final Concords on the transfer of land, and some other matters 
which occupy separate Rolls in the Westminster Courts. 

The Gaol Dehvery Rolls include the proceedings in the criminal 
business of the Assizes. 

There are separate Calendars or Docket Books of some, but 
only a few of the Rolls. These will be found mentioned in their 
place. 

The following account of the trial of a witch is taken at random 
from one of these Rolls — that of 1647 : — 

" The Information of Gillion Salter of Stretham taken upon 
oth before Thos. Castell Esqr. the 30th day of May 1647. 

" Whoe saith that abort 7 yeares since that hir daughter Marie 
Salter the elder and Marie Salter the yonger daughter to Tho. Salter 
weare much tormented and evell handled in there bodyes Marie 
Salter being taken lame and had great tormenting fittes and Marie 
the daughter of the said Marie was so grevusly handled that when 
hir fitt came upon hir this Informant had much adoe to hold the 
said Marie in hir armes shee being but an yeare and a quarter old 
and that in the extremitie of the said Marie's ffitt was so violent 
upon hir that the mouth of the said child would be drawen to the 
eare in such a fearefull manner that it did affright the beholders 
to see and this miserie the said Marie did lie in for the space of a 
quarter of a yeare and so died w<=^ this Inform* doth verilie beleave 
was the act of Dorothy Ellis. 

GILLION X SALTER 
hir marke."

E I PLEA ROLLS AND GAOL DELIVERY ROLLS (continued). 

" The Information of Alice Wade the wife of Wm. Wade of 
Stretham taken upon oth before Tho. Castell Esqr, the 30th of 
May 1647. 

" Whoe saith that shee being in the shope of Mihill Malen 
having hir child in hir Armes there came into the sd. shope Dorethy 
Ellis for halpeniworth of salt the said Dorethy laying the hand upon 
the child's cheeke mumled certaine words to hir selfe and presently 
after the departure of the said Dorethy Ellis had on of her child's 
eye fell a running and when this Inform* came home and about 
ten of the clocke in the night her child fell shreekinge out and 
would not sucke w*^ that this Inform* rose and did light a candell 
and looke upon hir child and did fynd that the side that Dorethy 
Ellis toucht all swelld and on of her child eyes out w''^ act this 
Informan* conceaveth was done by Dorethy Ellis. 

ALICE X WADE 
hir marke." 

" The examination of Dorithy Ellis taken before Tho. Castell 
Esqr. the 30th day of May 1647. 

" Whoe saith that about thirtie yeares since shee being much 
troubled in her minde there appeared unto hir the Devell in the 
liknes of a great catt and speak unto this ex* and demanded of hir hir 
blood y^^^ she gave hime after which the spirit in the liknes of a 
catt suck upon the body of this ex* and the first thing that this 
ex* commanded her spirit to doe was to goe and be witch 4 of the 
cattell of Tho. Hitch all wh'^^ cattell presently died and further this 
ex* confesseth that she sent hir catt spirit to bewitch and take 
away the life of Marie the daughter of Tho. Salter of Stretham 
which spirit forthwith kild the child of the said Marie and also this 
ex* confesseth she commanded hir spirit to lame the mother of the 
said child old Marie Salter which was done accordingly and that 
she commanded hir spirit to goe and be witch and lame John 
Gotobed because he cald this ex* old witch and flung stones att this 
ex* all w"'^ command was performed by hir spirit and the said 
Gotobed lamed. DORETHY X ELLIS 

hir marke." 

A certain Matthew Ellis, of Stretham, seemed also to be in 
trouble at the same Assizes, for being concerned in stealing corn 
from Wm. Townson, senr., yeoman. 

At the same Assizes several other persons (Adam Sabie, of 
Haddenham, Tho. Pie, of Ely, &c.) were also charged with witch- 
craft, some of whom confessed various extraordinary things, but one, 
Robert Ellis, of Stretham (probably a relative of Dorothy) " saith 
that he would not confess hime selfe to be a witch though they 
puld hime a peeces w*^ wild horses. ROBT X ELLIS 

his marke."

E I PLEA ROLLS AND GAOL DELIVERY ROLLS {continued). 

Religious prosecutions too were frequent. 

" Thos. DawUing of Wisbech deposes that about the tyme when 
Collonell John Lambert escaped out of the Tower of London he 
was in company w*^ John Neale the younger of Wisbech at the 
house of one Wm. ffisher when and where the said John Neale did 
use some invective and disgraceful words and speeches against the 
Minister and Clergy of this Relme of England affirming that ere 
long the Annabaptistes would come and preach in our Pulpittes 
and that the nation were Annabaptistes, &c., and further that 
' Chas. Stuart (meaning the now king's ma**^) is a bastard and the 
seede of a bastard/ &c." 

Bets appear to have been made on the King's chance of restor- 
ation, for the same John Neale is accused by another witness of 
having offered to lay wagers w*'^ this inform* and severall other 
persons then present to give them greater sumes of money for 
lesser when Charles Stuart (as he then called him) sh'^ be pro- 
claimed King of England. 

Upon the prosecution of a man for stealing lead and glass from 
Ely Cathedral one witness says, " Upon his oth that Doctor R"* 
Stone, W"" Tanner, and W" Gotobed sold this Inform* as much 
lead as he p<^ eight pounds for wh. was the lead that was taken of 
the Cath^ Ch. of Ely and wayed ten hunndred and thre quarters." 

At the Restoration too there are frequent prosecutions of the 
party out of power. Henry Ferrom Esq. appears to have been a 
particularly active justice in committing disloyal persons. Francis 
Mussen of Wisbech cordwayner is informed against by a customer 
who was in his shop and happened to speake of the King's 
Coronacon and thereupon the said Mussen did speake these factious 
and unreverent words of His Ma*^^ to witt " If ever there were a 
King crowned in England he sh<i be crowned with a paire of 
Ram's homes," &c.

• The Jail Deliveries and other Sessional Papers make up a huge aggregate of Keoorda 
which have chiefly to do with the crime and litigation of the county of Cambridge down to 
recent times. In so large a mass of documents it would be very rash to hazard a guess at what 
may not be foiyid, but I was surprised and disappointed to come upon no notice concerned with 
the doings or sufferings of the Recusant gentry and R. Catholic Priests who were confined in 
the castle of Wisbech during the latter half of Queen Elizabeth's reigu. It is diflScult to believe 
that a more careful search into this collection of muniments would fail to bring oat some fresh 
light upon the very interesting subject of the treatment which the Recusants received and the 
severity of their long imprisonment. In the next century again, during the interregnum, it is 
noticeable that the sessions continued to be held with monotonous regularity, but very soon 
after the Restoration at the Sessions held in Ely 18 April 1661 we meet with indications that 
the reinstating of Bishop Wren into his bishopric and his return to his diocese was speedily 
followed by a vigorous attempt to revive the old church discipline, and the old strictness which 
had proved so disastrous twenty years before ; and accordingly among the presentments of the 
Grand Jury, 15 men of Ely are presented " for not coming to the Parish Church," and another — 
Simon Goodman of March — " for suffering his son and other boys to play in his outhouse upon 
the Sabbath day and in divine service time." (Hist. MSS. Comm. Report.)

Several old Lists of Noblemen and Gentle-

Ely Episcopal Records. 127 



F 5 PRECEDENT AND MISCELLANEOUS BOOKS {continued). 

"A Formulary belonging to the Church of 
York, 15th century." 

" It contains a large number of forms of citations, monitions, 
sentences, &c., among which the following deserve notice : — 

i. A form of absolution for celebrating a clandestme marriage. 
ii. A form of letter for removing a nun from one house to 

another, 
iii. A letter from the Canons of St. John's Church, Beverley, 

authorising one of their members to beg through the 

East Riding for funds to complete the fabric of their 

Church, 
iv. A commission of the Archbishop of York ' ad inquirendum 

de LoUardis et ad procedendum contra eos.' 
v. A monition to parishioners to contribute towards the 

restoration of their parish Church, 
vi. A form of letter of manumission by a Bishop with confirmation 

by the Cathedral Chapter. 
The beginning of the volume has been somewhat injured by 
damp." (Hist. MSS. Comm. Report.) 
Also — 

"Case of the Will of Edmund Hey of 
Wendling, dioc. Norvv., 1611." 

Proceedings certified by a Notary. 

A Book endorsed "Archdeacon's Visitation 
Book and other Tracts 1574 to 1624." 

This is really a sort of Precedent or Commonplace Book in 
which original documents have apparently been bound up to save 
the trouble of copying them. One of the pages is in fact endorsed 
" Bookes and p"^sedentes founde in Alson's (?) Box Juhj 29, 1640. 

These precedent books contain much that is curious, and from 
the practice just mentioned of binding up original documents in 
them, are a kind of general receptacle for many things one would 
scarcely expect to find in such a place. For instance, in a large 
leather-bound volume, now lettered A, at P- 256 is an original 
appointment of Francis Hobson alderman of Chiches er to be 
Captain of a Company of Foot-signed "Northumberland, His 
Majesty's Lieutenant for the County of Sussex.

commence with a commission from Jo. Cantuar: and W. Burghley, 
"to o'" verie Loveinge ffriendes Doctor Legge. Vitechauncello'^ of 
the Universitye of Camebridge, Docf Pearne and D"^ Bell." At 
p. 118 are the Articles on a Metropolitical Visitation of the 
Cathedral by the Archbishop. To take another entry at random 
(p. 348) as to a lease of Haddenham : — " To my remembraunce 
theis were the wordes that M"^ Goldwell spake before my Lo. Cheif 
Justice in the cause of M*' Archdeacon of Elye and M"^ Arkinstall 
viz., ' I was w*^ Buyshop Coxe late Buyshop of Elye, in his Gallorie

The following, giving an account of a rather adventurous career, 
will serve as a specimen of this class of documents : — 

Examinacion of John ffloyde of Conaway in Carnarvansheire in 
Northwales singleman taken the nynth day of May c6i2 before 
Synolphus Bell and Edward ffincham Justices of the peace of our

theruppon procured one Wrattam servant to W™ Wattes of Ely 
potter to sett him over the river unto the houltes where uppon

The following is another specimen : —

Fairfacts at Rising in Norfolk a week after Midsummer 12 months

*G I BISHOPS' REGISTERS. 

The following is Dr. Jessopp's Report on these Registers to the 
Hist. MSS. Commissioners : — 

"The Episcopal Registers begm with that of Bp. Simon 
Montacute (1337-1345). The latest that I found was that of 
Bishop Yorke (17S1-1808). The series is far from complete, and 
the registers of Bp. Simon Langham and Bp. John Burnet, which 
covered the years from 1362 to 1374, were already missing when 
Bishop ^V'ren went through the whole collection shortly after his 
translation to Ely from Norwich in 1638. 

" Unlike the Institution Books of the Diocese of Norwich, 
which contain very little but the names of the clergy presented to a 
benefice, and the date of their institution, the Registers of Ely, at 
least down to the middle of the i6th century, present us with a 
documentary history of the diocese during the episcopate of the 
successive occupants of the see. It seems to have been a tradition 
at Ely to make the Registers take the place of the old Chronicle. 
If the registers of the Priory of Ely were at once the letter books 
of the monastery and journals of the business transacted in the 
Chapter House, the Bishop's register was a simiku: record of all 
that was passing in the diocese. The valuable priory register so 
ably summarised by the late Mr. Honvood in the 6th Report of 
the Hist. MSS. Commission (pp. 289-300), will give the reader a 
very good idea of the importance of these episcopal registers, 
except only that in the one case we are dealing with the affairs of 
a single religious house, and in the other, with the administration 
of an important but compact diocese, with no great monastery to 
enter into serious disputes with the Bishop of the see and with the 
University of Cambridge not yet strong enough or rich enough to 
assert herself too loudly. Though the relations between the 
University and the Bishop were very close, and could not be other- 
wise, my impression is that the early registers will be found to 
contain fewer notices of Cambridge than might have been expected, 
and that what there are have already found their way into well- 
known sources of information. At the same time it must be con- 
fessed that this is only an impression. 

* G is the Register Cupboard in the east wall. 



Ely Episcopal Records, 143 

G I BISHOPS' REGISTERS {continued). 

" A minute examination of these registers would be a work of 
time, and a detailed report upon their contents would lill a volume. 
Whether such a report is called for as yet may be doubted. 

"Meanwhile, it may be noted that the non-juring Fellow of St. 
John's, Thomas Baker, evidently had access to the episcopal 
archives at the beginning of the last century, and that the extracts 
he made are to be found in his MS. collections. These have been 
utilised by the late Mr. C. H. Cooper, of Cambridge, and by others 
who have made researches into the history of the University. 
On the whole, they must be confessed to be disappointing. 

" It is characteristic of the Ely registers that the lists of ordina- 
tions at the end of the volumes contain fuller information than is 
usually afforded in such early catalogues, which as a rule give little 
more than the names of the ordained. Here, in all cases, the 
secular and regular clergy are kept distinct, and sometimes the age 
and antecedents of the candidates arc added. An analysis of these 
lists would enable us not only to form an approximate estimate of 
the comparative strength of the parochial and monastic clergy, but 
to arrive at some conclusions regarding the number of the various 
religious orders in the diocese during tlie 14th and 15th centuries. 
The numbers admitted to holy orders in the early registers are very 
startling. The lists of ordinations for 22 years of Bishop Gray's 
episcopate (1454-1478) fill 34 closely written folio pages. In the 
century before this, i.e., in Bishop Simon dc Montacute's time 
(1337- 1 345), ordinations v/ere held much less frc(iuenlly than in 
the time that followed; but on the 24111 March, 1340, no less than 
249 were ordained, viz., 67 acolytes, 56 sub-deacons, 57 deacons, 
and 59 priests. The contrast between this ordination and one held 
by Bishop Cox, 19 Oct., 1580, is worthy of notice; on this 
occasion there were only 23 candidates, of whom ei^^ht were rejected 
on examination. The generally received belief that during Queen 
Elizabeth's reign the ordination examination was a mere form, and 
that admission to the ministry of the Church of England was 
easily to be obtained by very incompetent persons, receives no 
support from this register as far as the diocese of Ely is concerned. 

" The great power and influence of the Mendicant orders again, 
even during the latter half of the 14th century, may be inferred from 
such significant entries as that in Bp. Arundel's register, where wc 
find that on the 7th Feb. 1375 ten Franciscans, five Augustinians, 
and seven Carmelite friars, after admission to the priesthood, were 
licensed to preach throughout the diocese. All these licensed 
preachers appear to have belonged to religious houses at Cambridge. 

" The number of I'apal Bulls, Royal letters, mandates from the 
Archbishop, summonses to attend ecclesiastical assemblies, circular

G I BISHOPS' REGISTERS {continued). 

notices issued by the Bishop and bearing upon the taxation of the 
clergy and other instruments of more or less importance, of which 
copies are to be found in these volumes, is very large. As in the 
register of Bp. Stafford of Exeter [edited by Rev. Rev. F. C. 
Hingeston Randolph, 8vo., 1886], the Wills not only of clergy but 
of laymen are numerous and sometimes of great interest. The 
same may be said of the Marriage licenses, and occasional suits 
for dissolution or confirmation of marriages on the ground of nullity 
pleaded or dispensed. 

"The Licenses to beg throughout the diocese (usually styled 
Indulgences) for various objects are extremely curious. In one 
instance such an indulgence is granted for two years, to enable a 
poor man who had been stripped of his all by robbers, to recover 
his losses. 

" The great activity in Church building and Church restoration 
in the 14th century is strikingly illustrated by the notices of no less 
than ten Churches having been dedicated in Cambridgeshire by 
Thomas de Lisle in the single year 1351-2. 

"A mandate addressed by Bp. Thomas Arundel to the 
Chancellor and University of Cambridge, requiring them to pray for 
peace, the realm being threatened with invasion, dated Downham. 

"A breve addressed to Bp. Fordham by Richard II., ordering 
that prayers be offered up for Richard, Earl of Arundel and the 
fleet under his command now upon the sea, 13 June 1388. 
(Walsingham, Hist. Angl. ii. 175.) 

"In Bp. Gray's register (145 4- 147 8) there is a long account of 
proceedings taken against Robert Spark, John Crudde, and John 
Baile, who had been found guilty of heretical pravity. The articles 
objected to are — 

" I. Images not to be worshipped. 

** 2. Pilgrimages not to be made. 

" 3. Children not to be baptised. 

" 4. Laymen not called upon to fast if they be labouring men. 

" 5. Consecration of burial grounds unnecessary. 

** 6. At the sacrament of the altar no change in the elements. 

" 7. Transubslantiation a fiction of the priesthood. 

*' 8. Confession to one of their sect profits more than confession 
to a priest. 

" 9. Mental prayer in the fields is better than the same in a 
Church. 
" 10. Consent between a man and woman alone makes matri- 
mony. The marriage rite invented by the avarice of 
priests. 
"11. Extreme unction useless. 



Ely Episcopal Records. 145 

G I BISHOPS' REGISTERS {continued), 

"12. The Pope is antichrist and the priests are devils incarnate. 
" 13. Every man is the Church of God, because he is said to be 
' the temple of God.' 

"All abjure their heresies. 

** With these proceedings it would he instructive to compare the 
report of a similar trial for heresy in 1 539-1 540 in the register of 
Bishop Goodrich. This long and minute report is concerned 
with the proceedings against William Wolsey and Robert Pygott 
of Wisbech, which resulted in the burning of the two men at Ely 
on the i6th Oct. 1555. Foxe [Acts and Monuments, vol. vii. 404) 
gives a very characteristic account of this busmess, but he cannot 
evidently have seen this report of the trial, and writes from hearsay 
evidence only. 

"Another entry in Bp. West's register (1515-1534) bearing on 
the same subject, shows that Thomas Bilney, who was burnt at 
Norwich, 19 Aug. 1531, had been proceeded against for heresy 
much earlier than has hitherto been supposed. * Licentia M""" Th. 
Bilney in iure Canon : Baccal ad predicandum populo. Sed rcvo- 
catur quia super hereticam pravitatem convictus est 1523.' 

" From such a large field as these registers cover it would be 
easy to make a collection of curiosities which should be of service 
to the historian. Thus the maintenance of bridges in the middle 
ages was assumed to be in some way connected with the offices of 
religion. In Bishop Grey's register (1454-1479) we find an illus- 
tration of this in a mandate from the Bishop to the Bailiff of 
Brandon requiring him, whereas Thomas Passhelaw, lately the 
occupant of Hermitagium nostrum super pontem de Brandon, was 
dead, to admit John Herryman to be hermit there for his life ' si 
bene se gesserit,' the said hermit to keep the buildings of the 
hermitage in due repair, i.e., out of the offerings received from 
those who should cross the bridge. 

"The attitude of Archbp. Bourchier towards Bp. Pecock of 
Chichester is well known and that he was translated from Ely to the 
primacy in 1454. On the 21st March 1457 the Archbp. issues a 
mandate to Bp. Gray his successor in the see of Ely calling upon 
him *ad inquirendum de libris domini Reginaldi Pecock Epi. 
Chich.' whether written in Latin or EngHsh. 

"ii. 3 Jan. 1465-6. — A licence addressed to Thomas Trump- 
ington 'Sacrae Pag : Prof: Praesidenti religionis Minorissarum 
monasterii de Denny,' authorising him to celebrate matrimony in 
the Convent Church between William Ketterich, junior, and 
Marion (Marionam) Hall, domestic servants in the monastery : the 
banns to be put up in the parish church of Waterbeach. Denny 
was a nunnery of the order of St. Clare. 

K

G I BISHOPS' REGISTERS {continued). 

" iii. Certain injunctions and reformed statutes determined on in 
the course of a visitation of the Priory of Ely, May 1466. It would 
appear that the house required some reformation and received it. 
The report and the injunctions fill five folio pages, and are of great 
interest. 

"iv. In the register of Bishop John of Fordham (1388-1426) 
there is a long mandate of Archbp. Courtenay, ' Contra Choppe- 
ckunhes,' dated 5 March 1391. They appear to have been the 
clerical agents of the 14th century, who drove a brisk trade by 
negotiating exchanges of benefices. The Primate denounces them 
as ' Simonis consortes in crimine Choppechurches N'ulgariter appellati,* 
and their head-quarters were at London ' pro majore parte ut dicitur.' 

" V. In Bishop Arundel's register (1374-1388), (fol. 33), is a very 
strong letter addressed by the Bishop to his clergy warning them 
against receiving or harbouring certain " pseudo maligne mentis 
homines infelices" outwardly in sheep's clothing but inwardly 
ravening wolves. "Adeo obfuscati quod quidam eorum Archi- 
episcopos alii vero Episcopos se falso et mendaciter pretendentes " 
who had been itinerating in the diocese of Ely and elsewhere, 
obtaining money from the clergy and confirming children at the 
Churches. Such rogues were by no means to be received ' etiarasi 
episcopi in veritate existant' 

** vi. In this same register (fol, 39^) there is an entry of unusual 
interest setting forth that Isabella, Countess of Suffolk, on the 21st 
March i38i[2] in the presence of Thomas Bishop of Ely, 'missam 
tunc ibidem solempniter celebrantis,' and of Henry [Despencer], 
Bp. of Norwich, assisting, made a solemn vow of chastity before the 
High Altar of the Priory Church of Campsey, Suffolk. The form 
of the vow is given at length. Jeo Isabelle iadys la femme William 
de Uffbrde Count de Suffl. vowe a dieu et a nre dame seynte Marie 
et a toux sejTitz en presence de tres reverentez Piers au dieu Evesqz 
de Ely et de Norwigt que ieo doi estre chast dors en auaunt ma 
x\Q duraunte. The Bp. of Ely by authority of the Bp. of Norwich 
received the vow and invested the lady with a ring and ' Mantellam 
sive clamidem ' in the presence of an immense assembly. Among 
the witnesses at the ceremony were the Countess's brother, Thomas 
Earl of Warwick, one of the Lords Appellant in 1387, and her two 
brothers-in-law, John, 3rd Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and Robert, 
3rd Lord Scales, ' ac aliis militibus et armigeris et aliis multitudine 
copiosa.' This remarkable ceremony has escaped the notice of 
historians so far as I am aware. The sudden death of WiUiam 
Uftbrd, Earl of Suffolk [Walsingham, ii. 48], has been assigned 
by Dugdale to the isth Dec. 1381 [Baron, ii. 49]. His widow 
therefore took the veil just three months after her husband's death."

Bishop Wren's MS. 

"A closely written folio in rough calf, arranged in double columns, 
in the handwriting of Bishop Wren. This volume possesses a 
peculiar and almost pathetic interest. The first 113 pages are 
taken up with extracts from the registers of the See of Norwich, of 
which Ur. Wren was Bp. for little more than 2 years. During this 
short period he seems to have worked with extraordinary industry 
at the records to which he had succeeded, going through them page 
by page and noting everything that seemed to him worthy of 
remark. At the bottom of p. 1 1 3 he has added the following note : — 

Quicquid in libro hoc chartaceo infra conscriptum est, 
usque ad secundam banc columnam Pagin^e 113, per me 
ipsum coUectum fuissc ex Archivis Norwicensibus profiteor, 
meaque manu descriptum hinc ex eorundem perlectione et 
perscrutatione a me ipso facta dum Ep"^ Norwicensis eram, 
a 5 Decembris 1635, ad 24 April 1638. 
Ma : Eliensis. 

"At p. 114 he begins his extracts from the Ely registers, which 
are headed " Ex Archivis Ehensibus." These continue uninter- 
ruptedly to fol. 360, at the bottom of which he writes : — 

Hoc omne quod a Pag. 114 in istuc Libro Chartaceo 
prescriptum est meis ipsius oculis perscrutatum, perlectumquc 
fuisse ante Aug: 30 A° 1642 ex Archivis Ep^*"^ Eliensis, 
aliisque scriptis meaque ipsius manu in rudem banc formam 
congestum, exaratumque fuisse necesse est me, in verbo et 
fide Episcopi, profiteri. Quia nunc reperio, Partem maximam 
eorum scriptorum e quibus ista conscripsi, vel periisse funditus 
vel saltern ablatam subductamquc esse per scelus temporum 
illorum quae ab initio Anni 1643 ^^ ^^ 1660 interlapsa sunt. 
Audiat Fides Christiana. 
Audiat ipsa Veritas hoc. 
Quod nunc sancte adsero, in presentia Summi Dei. 
Octob. 15, 1664. Ma: Eliensis. 

" There is a good Index to the Norwich extracts in Bp. Wren's 
own hand, but the Index to the Ely notes has been drawn up by 
another. Wren seems to have carefully noticed the occurrence of 
any names of Suffragan Bishops acting in either diocese as officials 
for the Bishops of the see, and the names of more than one are 
given which do not occur in Wharton's list.

G 2 BISHOPS' REGISTERS (continued). 

" Reading between the lines of Bishop Wren's declaration at the 
end of this volume, and bearing in mind that the writer was the 
object of a very acrimonious persecution at the hands of the Puritan 
faction, who spared no pains in getting up charges against him, it 
is less to be wondered at that the muniments of the diocese of Ely 
should be as defective as they are than that so many records of 
great value should have survived. The see was actually kept vacant 
for more than 18 years, from 1581 till 1599, and the removal of 
such MSS. as may have been stored in the Bishop's palace in 
Holborn to the new residence in Dover Street, which was built in 
1772, is not likely to have been carried out without some serious 
loss." (Hist. MSS. Comm. Report.) 

This volume has been produced and read as evidence in a 
Chancery Suit — Pickering v. Bishop of Ely, 1843. 

The Rev. J, H. Crosby, Librarian of Ely Cathedral, has gone 
carefully through this volume and compiled the following list of 
the MSS. which Bishop Wren mentions as the sources of his 
excerpts : —

Cambridgeshire Manors. 

An old MS. volume (written about temp. 
Jac. i) relating to the descents of Manors in 
Cambridgeshire, with an Index to the Manors 
at the end. 

It appears to have formerly belonged to Mr. Peck. It is a 
most laborious and valuable compilation, and the Editor is not 
acquainted with any transcript of it. The following is a specimen 
of its contents : — 

Abbington juxta Shingay soe called to distinguish from others 
of y* name ; it belonge aunciently to y® Abbingtons who were 
lordes of it. 

The M. of Abbington w*^ y« Church of St. Michaell there be^

held in capite, it hath many privileges belonging to it W^^ I will not 
sett downe my labore beinge therein cast as it were into y^ sea

carte called a fairy carte with w*=^ they fetched those from Cam- 
bridge that were executed and buried them there — such blinde 
devotion they imputed to y*^ place now there is a Chappell to it, 
but it is reputed in the parishe of Wendy. 

A volume marked " Liber B," containing 
registers of Papal Bulls, Royal Grants, Official 
Appointments, Manumissions, Presentations 
to Benefices, &c., relating to the Church of Ely. 

This is evidently the Book B, one of the MSS. Elien., mentioned 
in Bentham's Ely. (Preface and pp. 141 and 172.) 

On the fly leaf is " This Register was given to me by T. M. G. 
Esqre — it had been many years in the library of his late father. 

Rich*i Almack F.S.A. 
1849."

".'Purchased of H. H. Almack Esq*" for ;^is, and presented to 
the See by Alwyne Ely. May 16, 1889." 

It begins at fo. 9 ; and fo. 1 1 is missing, though the first pages, 
instead of the folios, have been re-numbered in a modern hand so 
that it appears at first sight to be complete. There is a modern 
index of persons and places at the end. 

Ely and Bury MS. 

A thin folio of 40 leaves of the 15 th century, containing a 
collection of extracts from ancient charters and other documents 
in support of the case of the Bp. of Ely in a discussion which had 
arisen between him and the Abbot of St. Edmunds with regard to 
certain liberties and franchises which it appears the Abbot had 
invaded. 

Denney Abbey MS. 

A beautiful MS. volume, written on 32 
pages of vellum, containing the proceedings on 
the appropriation of the Churches of Eltisley, 
CO. Cambridge, and Sydenham, co. Bedford, 
temp. Elizabeth Throgmorton abbess, 15 12. 

The following letter shews how it comes to be here : — 
My Lord, " Saturday. 

I sent This Day, by The Beccles Stage Coach, The Manuscript, 
relating to Denny Abby : and directed it, to be left at Your House 
in May-Fair, or at Your L^ship's Palace in Ely. It is a very Beau- 
tiful MS. ; is an Original ; And was found, in the Archives of my 
Great-Grandfather S"" Rob* Naunton, Master of the Court of Wards 
and Secretary of State to King James the First. It was taken, 
among the rest of his Goods, by the Rebels, in Cromwell's Time ; 
and a Few Years ago, I found it, in a Farm House, of one, whose 
Ancestor, had been, in the Rebel Army. ^ 

If it gives Your Lordship, any Pleasure, it will give me more ; 
And I beg your Lordship's Acceptance of it. As a Token of my 
Great Regard, for your Lordship ; And to shew you, 
How much I am,

G 2 ADMINISTRATIONS, MARRIAGE LICENCES, &c. {cont) 

At the end of Register VIII. is this letter, addressed to the 
Rev. Dr. Walker, at Trinity College, in Cambridge : — 

"Norwich, Apr. 4, 1750. Sir, I'm oblig'd to you for y''^ on 
Monday, but am much concern'd at y'^ ace* you give of some of y^ 
Surrogates. The evil of clandestine marriages has been long and 
loudly complained of, and imputed in a good measure, and indeed 
w*^ too much reason, to those intrusted with Licences. Some 
must be left in y° hands of particular Clergymen, in confidence of 
their integrity, and y® regard they ought to have for their own 
character in granting them : for there can't be too much care taken 
in an affair of so tender a nature, where y® peace and welfare of 
families is so much concerned. These great irregularities will one 
day be y^ ruin of y^ ecclesiastical jurisdiction in this particular 
branch. 

"As to y® persons you mention, they appear to have been so 
guilty, that I can't think them at all proper to be any longer trusted ; 
and therefore beg you'll order Higgins to let them know this, 
and to require a return of y*^ Licences undispatch'd in their hands, 
and to let them have no more. I am sure both you and Mr. Greene 
will concur in any method that may put a stop to these scandalous 
practices. I did hope we should hear no more from St. Sepulchre's : 
if you do, please to let me know it. 

" I am, S"", your most humble Serv*, W. Peck."

Lord Bishop of Ely that I am discharged from Residence upon my 
Vicarage of All Saints &c. in consequence of my residence in the

All Saints fell down in 1766, and the alternate duty was united in

G 3 MISCELLANEOUS REGISTERS (conHmied). j 

This book is divided into two parts. The first part from folio i ' 
to fol. 206 is properly intitled, "Liber de Inquisitionibus Maneriorum 

/Episcopatus Elyensis;" containing a most accurate and minute 
account of all the manors belonging to the Bishopric of Ely, taken 
in the 21st year of the Consecration of Hugh Norwold Bishop of 
Ely, who was consecrated Bishop of that See 4 Id. Junii A.D. 
1229 (14 Hen. 3), so that this General Survey, or Domesday Book, 
was made in the year 1251. 

The second part of the book, commencing fol. 209, is written 
in a different and much later character, and is properly a Chartulary, 
containing a Register of the Charters and Grants of several Kings 
and others to the Church of Ely, Final Concords, Proceedings at 
Law, &c. 

At fol. 2 28 b, col. 2, is an account of the Knights' Fees held 
under the Bishop of Ely. Fol. 229 b, col. 2, contains a valuation 
of the Rectories, Vicarages, &c., in the Diocese of Ely. Fol. 231 b, 
col. I — Perambulatio de Bundis et Divisis inter Comitatus Cantabr. 
et Hunt. A" Rni Regis Ed. 13.

hand : — :

NOTES ON THE BISHOP'S TRANSCRIPTS OF PARISH 
REGISTERS. 

These, as will be seen from the foregoing Inventory, are tolerably 
complete from 1599 to 1813 for the old Diocese of Ely, that is to 
say, for the County of Cambridge with the exception of Isleham, 
which was formerly in the Diocese of Rochester, and Ashley-cum- 
Silverley, Burwell, Cheveley, Chippenham, Fordham, Kennet, 
Kirtling, Newmarket S. Mary, Snailwell, Soham, Wicken, and 
Wood Ditton, which were formerly in the Diocese of Norwich.* 
Also there are no Transcripts for Thorney, probably because of the 
former peculiar jurisdiction of the Abbey there. 

Owing to the changes in the territorial constitution of the 
Diocese, it is often difficult for a searcher to ascertain where to 
look for the Wills, Transcripts, Terriers, and Institutions before 
1837 for the districts nOw comprised in the Diocese; and the 
following table is therefore intended to give an approximate idea 
of their present places of deposit.

• The Deputy Registrar at Norwich informs me that the Transcripts for these Parishes (except 
during the Bishop of Norwich's Septennial Visitations, when they would be at Norwich) should be 
In the Registry of the Archdeacon of Sudbury at Bury St. Edmunds ; but the Archdeacon's 
Registrar has no knowledge of them. 

* Except the places, formerly in the Dioceses of Norwich and Rochester, specified above. 
t For the Wills entered in the Bishop's Registers, see page 193, supra. 
% There are also a few Wills at Lincoln relating to Beds, and Hunts. The earlier Wills 
entered in the Registers of the Bishops of Lincoln have been printed in abstract : Williamson, 
Lincoln, 8vo, 1888. 

§ There are also some Transcripts for Beds, and Hunts, at Lincoln— principally about 1602- 
1610, but in some cases coming down to 1670. They are believed to be duplicates of those returnad 
to the Archdeacons' Registries at Bedford and Huntingdon.

NOTES ON THE BISHOPS' TRANSCRIPTS (continued). 

In making the following notes and extracts, the object kept in 
view has been to give an idea of the years for which the Transcripts 
are to be found, and (except of course in the towns) of the principal 
families to be found in each parish ; as well as extracts relating to 
the famihes whose pedigrees are given in the Heralds' Visitations, 
and all entries which appeared to be in any way remarkable or to 
relate to persons unconnected with the parishes where the entries 
occur, and which might therefore otherwise be looked for in vain. 
Considerable care has also been taken to note the Clergy who sign 
or are otherwise mentioned in the Transcripts, so as to supply to 
some extent the place of the lost Institution Registers. The names 
given in italics and in brackets are those which appear constantly 
in the respective registers. It need scarcely be added that the 
examination of so many transcripts was necessarily a somewhat 
cursory one, but it has been made as exhaustive as the circumstances 
would allow. From 1599 to 1700 is the period as a rule covered 
by these notes. 

The Extracts from the Transcripts are also, to some extent, 
annotated from the Marriage Licence Registers, &c., in order to 
show what a vast amount of genealogical information may be 
gathered from those sources.

NOTES ON THE OLD BISHOPS' REGISTERS. 

A careful Abstract of these Registers, by the Rev. J. H. Crosby, 
Minor Canon of Ely, is in course of being printed in the

Non- Residence, Royal Writs, and Documents relating to Parliament, 
Convocation and Subsidies. Also the Wills given above at page 193,

These Things premised as Troth makes it expedient They shon'.d. How strange ?— yet not 
more strange than true. Much eril prevails over the Inhabitants of this Isle. From whence 
come they ? Of his Lordship — Why no. Our Duty, our Knowledge forbid the Thought. 

The Prince cf this Isle, as our King, has no fault, yet not on the gross Principles of the 
Sons of France, 

With them— their King is their God ; with us — our King is but ITan. subject to like 
Frailties with others of mankind ; and as our King, so our prelate, governs his palatinate by a 
Council, and They alone are answerable for the Measures of Administration. 

Having thus paved the way as of Duty bound to endeavour after restoring to an injured 
people their just rights. We must olserve that the Duties to onr Neighbour being discharged 
the next essential part of Mans Life is to reflect back on himself — Xext to a Jealotisy of Kan- 
self is an honest Zeal for Manself. Self Esteem grounded on Just and right is profitable— la- 
expedient for Man. 

On first refleetion we are a free bom People, and the same divine aud human Laws which 
forbid us Subjects to use Liberty for a Cloak to Licentiousness, do equally forbid onr Country- 
men in power and Authority to use that power for a Cloak to the Licentionsness of Tyranny 
and Oppression. 

The Magistracy in this Christian Country are made for the People, and their Glory ought 
to result on'y from a faithful Conduct in Actions of great Extent. 

Self Esteem grounded on Justice and right is profitable — is expedient for man. 

(My Lord) We are a free born People ; we this day are more. We are the Grand Jury of 
this Island — and as such are — the Guardians of the Lives and Liberties of our Country ; and onr 
Souls Jealousy to acquit faithfully such important Trust is inflamed to the uttermost from 
reflecting. th;it by our Constitution, We are — as wilUnglv indeed we are too. under an Appeed 
to the Almighty God who caimot, who will not be mocked, to acquit this oar office without 
respect unto persons. 

From hence we are led to lay open— to remonstrate on Grievance too heavy to be bom 
patiently, silently. 

The Lo^ of our Liberty who are free born — False Imprisonments by the Suppression of 
one Assize of the two, which formerly were, and of the Subjects? right, still ought to be. 

This does alarm us. since no man of sense can presume on Integrity of Life as a Security at 
all Events against a Commitment to a Gaol ; nothing more common than the Guiltiness of the 
Guilty being transferred, through the Craftiness of the Guilty, on the Head of the Innocent. 
We will look no farther than to the Incident which feU out in the parish of Littleport within 
these few years. Must we not add yet more ? The truth mtist and shall be proclaimed, although 
it give offence wheresoever it may. 

Barbarities under Imprisonment little inferior to the Inquisition abroad did our Country- 
men of the Parish of Whittlesea experience within these few years past. 

We therefore with Warmth as with Humility Demand a Gaol Delivery twice in the year. 

For that End We urge on your Lordship when in Council assembled to press on others onr 
prelates Council a speedy redress of those Grievances and a certain Assurance of the same to us 
the Grand Jury before Christmas next, and Silence beyond that Time We shall construe to be 
a Denial. 

We are asnred of your feeling for, as your knowledge of, the Constitution of this blessed Land. 

We do neither doubt of your Principles, nor your Talents ; but we still doubt of yonr 
Success. 

Their Wills be done as unto Themselves alone. But lett those Council of otir Prelate 
know, that We the Grand Jury are unanimously and stedfastly purposed in Janoory next to 
fly for succour to the Guardians above all of the Common Wealth of England.

Sir, 

My Lord Bishop of Ely begs you will be so good as to take the 
trouble to procure for Mr. Porson, a small Leather Portmanteau, a 
great Coat of Bath coating and a pair of Boots, and his Lordship 
begs they may be made big enough, to admit of a little increase in 
size, as they are not things in constant wear, and I think the Port- 
manteau shd. not be to small, as it will be a Lasting useful Thing 
for a Single Gentleman. His Lordship hath advanced Cash to Mr. 
Porson for his Journey himself: Mr. Porson will leave College one

having them of the College Shoemaker and Taylor."

Gwillim, as to a maniac confined in Ely Gaol. It sets out that the 
Isle of Ely is a Royal Franchise, having a Gaol Delivery and a Gaol 
at Ely, the onus of repairing which latter lies as it shd. seem upon 
the Bp. of Ely as Lord of the Franchise as appears by a Report 
made in 1767 to his present Majesty by the then Attorney and 
Solicitor General upon a Question then agitated between the Bishop 
and the Inhabitants, and so forth. In 1798 one James Thompson 
was removed by Habeas Corpus from Newgate to this Gaol on a

Ely, the property of Mr. Joseph Vipan. He became insane, and 
Counsel is asked to advise on the question of the Bp's. liability to 
provide keepers &c. Mr. Gwillim's opinion was that the Inhabitants 
were liable and not the Bishop ; but the difficulty appears to have 
been ultimately solved, for an endorsement states " Thompson 
proved no Maniac and was hanged, 1801." 

The condition of the prisoners at this time does not seem to 
have been a very enviable one. A letter dated Wednesday, 4th

on behalf of the French Refugee Clergy in 1793. 

To the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Ely. 
My Lord, 

The very respectable Committee of Subscribers, who have 
benevolently undertaken to superintend the Distribution of the 
Money collected by voluntary Contribution for the Relief of the 
French Clergy, Refugees in the British Dominions, finding their 
Resources begin to fail, and that the Distress of the unhappy Objects 
of their Charity still continues, have humbly supplicated His Majesty 
for His Royal Permission to make Collections for their further 
Support ; and I do, with great Pleasure, communicate to you His 
Majesty's most gracious Letter in Answer to their Petition. 

You will therein see how much His Majesty approves this 
Charitable Work, by the Readiness with which he gives it His Royal 
Countenance and Protection ; and also what Commands he hath 
laid upon us, that His Letter be made public; and that the 
Ministers in each Parish be required effectually to excite their 
Parishioners to a liberal Contribution. I have only to add, that I 
have no Doubt of your giving every Support and Encouragement in 
your Power to the Promotion of so pious and excellent a Work.

George R. 

Most Reverend Father in God, Our Right Trusty and Right 
Entirely Beloved Councillor, We greet you well. — Whereas the 
Committee of Subscribers for the Relief of the French Clergy, 
Refugees in our British Dominions, have by their Petition humbly 
represented to Us, that, on the dreadful Persecutions of the French 
Clergy, which took place in France in August and September last, 
many Thousands of them. Sufferers alone for Conscience Sake, were 
driven into Our Dominions without any Means of Livelihood or 
Support, and have been wholly maintained and supported for above 
Six Months by the voluntary Contributions of the Petitioners, which 
have amounted in the Whole to above Twenty-six thousand Pounds. 
But the Committee, finding their Resources begin to fail, and that 
the Distress of the said French Clergy still continues, humbly 
supplicate that We would be graciously pleased to permit them to 
make Collections for this Charitable Purpose, in the different Parishes

enjoined to exhort their Parishioners to a Uberal Contribution 
towards carrying on this Charitable Work, which the Committee 1 
trust will be acceptable in the Sight of that Being who is the common y 
Father of Mankind — We, taking the Premises into Our Royal Con- 
sideration, and being ready to give the best Encouragement and 
Countenance to this Work of Christian Charity, are graciously 
pleased to condescend to their Request, and do hereby direct you, 
that these our Letters be communicated to the several Suffragan 
Bishops within your Province, expressly requiring them to take Care 
that Publication be made hereof, on such Sunday, and in such 
Places within their respective Dioceses, as the said Bishops shall 
appoint ; and that, upon this Occasion, the Ministers in each Parish 
do effectually excite their Parishioners to a liberal Contribution, 
whose Benevolence towards carrying on the said Charitable Work 
shall be also collected the Week following at their respective 
Dwellings by the Churchwardens or Overseers of the Poor in each 
Parish ; and the Ministers of the several Parishes are to cause the 
Sums so collected to be paid immediately to our trusty and well- 
beloved John Wilmot, Esquire, of Bedford-Row, London, Member 
of Parliament for Our City of Coventry, and Chairman of the said

Majesty's Command that you solicit your Parishioners at Church 
and at their Houses for Contribution towards the Relief of the

worldly Comfort for the Testimony of a good Conscience : and have

fled to this generous Country for Protection. It is unnecessary for 
me to endeavour to excite your sedulous exertions in a Business of 
so interesting a description. Your natural Sensibility for such 
continued ond accumulated Affliction, in a Cause so honourable to 
the Individuals ; and your acknowledged prompt Obedience to the 
Commands of a Sovereign so deservedly beloved ; are sufficient 
securities for your active efforts to promote a liberal Collection. 

With my earnest Prayers for Success in all your Christian
